HUMIDITY oF rHe AIR.
its Eject ON Physique in Summer and
winter-Sudden Changes.

Winter-Suddeu Changes.
The amount of aqueous vapor that the
atmosphere is capable of holding varies
with It's temperature, being greater when
the air is warm. greater In summer than
in winter, and greater In warm than a
cold climate. The relative humidity ex-
ercises powerful influence upon animal
and vegetable life. 1t is well known
fact that the Inhabitants of dry climate
are, as a rule, thin and sallow, while
those living in n moist, insular country
have well developed figures and fresh,
ruddy compilations. It is to the greater
peculiar physique of our people, which IS
SO different from that of our English an
ccstors.
Schagintwelt, German, who Travelled
extensively IN this country, notes this
popularity, asserting that we are very
proud OF the lcanness of the women:
According to Pcttenkofer and Volt, t;lc
human body exhales from the lungs and
skin twcnty-eight ounces in twenty-four
hours and of this li.tle over seventeen
ounces is from the skin alone and, as the
amount exllaled depends in a great meas

tons and not infrequcntly in that of tho
intestinal canal.
DRY climates, by diminishing the water
In the blood act as powerful stimulant
to tho nervous system. increasing its func-
tional activity. causing excitement and

though admirably adapted to tho treat

This effect is observed even in healthy
persons on their removal to dry climate,

exhibits itself in certain degree of rest

the removal of The ca 1ital to some mole

far as to predict that seismic disturbances

scarcely week goes by without those
disturbances and that that gentleman has
been recording from fifty to 100 American
